List Mgmt. Trade Week 2016 - Live Thread

[GWeagles]

He would be the best thing for our young mids. The minutes they miss out on in 2017 will be more than compensating from learning from such a master. It will make us a better side in 2017 and for several years to follow.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

If we have no third due to Mitchell and Jake gets past our 2nd.. do we get to use our 4th on him?

Yes. We might end up going into deficit which I think means we'd get a downgraded pick next year, but I'm a little fuzzy on that part of the rules.

 

[SpaceClef]

That Fremantle are unlikely to have a pick before our 2nd rounder certainly helps in that regard

Depends. They'll get one before our 2nd rounder from Mayne compo, and they have GWS's 2nd rounder.

They can trade the GWS 2nd rounder to Hawthorn for Hill, and use the Mayne compo to bid on Waterman.

So much shit to go under the bridge still though

 

[Quinz]

you would be hard pressed to find anyone unhappy with our 2016 offseason.

 

[stinger05]

As some have suggested give Mitchell more minutes over Priddis. He is a far better leader and mentor on field to the younger blokes.

Priddis and Mitchell unfortunately play different roles but both have the same glaring weakness. Slow and can't run defensive patterns. Another reason this trade will hurt our team.

 

[SpaceClef]

So big question is if we are left with 12 and 33 after the trades are done (assuming waterman for 3rd), who do you think we should get that will be available at those picks?

Best available contested beasts.

 

[StevieJ83]

I hope Mitchell's first act is to gather the midfield together and give them the Glengarry Glen Ross mobologue.
"Nice guy? **** you! Go build a house in Cambodia. If you want to work here, close!"

BEST. **** OR WALK.

We need a bit of c**t about us which is what Mitchell brings.

The Mayne compo pick is off to Hawthorn for Hill bookmark it

GWS 2nd rounder they will need for either Hamling or Kersten

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Really down with this - get an A grade mid, who knows what success looks like, and who knows how to go about achieving it coming in for 1-2yrs, then transitions into mid/stoppage coaching role. Maybe helps us snare a flag in the process.

Huge play by the club

As long as we keep our 1st & 2nd round picks I don't care, get the deal done

 

[Spartan]

I wonder if our boy Sammy is a little annoyed at the Hawks about it all.

Sounds like ol Clarko pursuaded (read: gently pushed) Mitchell to make the move early.. you would think he wanted to finish out his career at the Hawks as a one club champ and then take up the WCE offer. Especially since he only recently signed an extension.

Now Hawks get something in return for losing him (get nothing if he retires) and free up cap space. I reckon if T.Mitchell stayed at Sydney then S.Mitchell stays at the Hawks.

Sneaky Clarko is sneaky.

 

[Scotland]

Still a dirty sniper. But possibly our dirty sniper. For a little while.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

I bet some of these posters would complain if Miranda Kerr stripped off in front of them that her breasts weren't quite perfect

How did you know her left one is a little lop sided?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Ballantynes manager (Young) confirming he'll probably stay at Freo. Could this day get any better

Freo make a late move for Petrie

True but surely Kersten isn't worth a second rounder.

Will be interesting to see how things pan out

 

[stinger05]

Why can't we offer this peanut 800k to join our coaching staff in 2018? Why do we need him to stink it up on the field in 2017? Why allow the Hawks to get a younger and far stronger list?

This is a sad sad day. Where is Ochre to make sense of all this!!!

 

[Suma Magic]

My initial fear that we will overpay has subsided.

I think it's a great get, assuming we only pay a third rounder.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Give them Masten for him.

Can we give them Masten anyway?

There is a salary cap on coaches as well, so can't overpay him.

Deledio isn't much chop.

Deledio is an injury prone-fast running-long kick. He has his uses. But his football brain is borderline non-existent.

We were never going to land a young established A-grade mid during this trade period. Never.
We will get Mitchell for free, almost, and what he will bring to the club can not be measured.
After all this we will likely have both our 1st and 2nd rounders in a strong midfield draft so everything is coming up Milhouse for us at the moment.
